That's an error from gsettings. There's two issues here:

- python setup.py install isn't running glib-compile-schemas where it is
dumping our schema.
- gsettings likely doesn't know to look in /usr/local/share for schemas.

You can try glib-compile-schemas --strict /usr/local/share/glib-2.0/schemas
and see if that helps, otherwise you'll need to set GSETTINGS_SCHEMA_DIR to
that directory.

I wonder if there's a way to not have gsettings abort in this case, and maybe
make some recommendations to the user.
